Zechariah 1:14-21

14So the angelH4397 that communedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, CryH7121 thou, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; I am jealousH7065 for JerusalemH3389 and for ZionH6726 with a greatH1419 jealousyH7068. 15And I am veryH1419 soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with the heathenH1471 that are at easeH7600: for I was but a littleH4592 displeasedH7107, and they helpedH5826 forward the afflictionH7451. 16Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; I am returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with merciesH7356: my houseH1004 shall be builtH1129 in it, saithH5002 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, and a lineH6961H6957 shall be stretched forthH5186 upon JerusalemH3389. 17CryH7121 yet, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; My citiesH5892 through prosperityH2896 shall yet be spread abroadH6327; And YhwhH3068 shall yet comfortH5162 ZionH6726, and shall yet chooseH977 JerusalemH3389.1

18Then lifted I upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and behold fourH702 hornsH7161. 19And I saidH559 unto the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me, What be these? And he answeredH559 me, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, IsraelH3478, and JerusalemH3389. 20And YhwhH3068 shewedH7200 me fourH702 carpentersH2796. 21Then saidH559 I, What comeH935 these to doH6213? And he spakeH559, sayingH559, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, so thatH6310 no manH376 did lift upH5375 his headH7218: but these are comeH935 to frightenH2729 them, to cast outH3034 the hornsH7161 of the GentilesH1471, which lifted upH5375 their hornH7161 over the landH776 of JudahH3063 to scatterH2219 it.
